Former Glamorgan Coach Grant Bradburn Fined for Discriminatory Comments

Grant Bradburn, the former head coach of Glamorgan, has been fined £500 and reprimanded for making discriminatory remarks, including comments with racist and sexist connotations. The Cricket Discipline Commission (CDC) found that he asked players of Asian background about their 'real age' in a manner that suggested dishonesty and made remarks implying that cricket selection in Pakistan was arbitrary, such as picking names from a hat. Additionally, he used phrases comparing male players' performance to that of women, which was deemed inappropriate. Bradburn, who was sacked in December following an internal investigation, has been ordered to attend an educational course and has expressed regret for his comments. The CDC noted that his remarks undermined the integrity of cricket and brought disrepute to the game. Glamorgan's management emphasized their commitment to a zero-tolerance policy against discrimination and acted promptly upon the allegations.
